I have a brand new iPhone 17, it's been a few weeks and my camera is not working properly. I have to restart my phone every time I need it to work. I also have the latest iOS. This is really an inconvenience especially when I attend meetings online with my phone.
Is there any way to fix this issue?
iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 18
Did you also try to reset the iPhone to factory settings, to rule out, that the iOS software caused the issue?
To rule out defective data from the backup, set it up as a new device and test the camera.
Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings using a computer - Apple Support
If the camera works after that, restore from the latest backup and test again.
In case the camera does not work after setting it up as a new device, this is a hardware issue and the iPhone has to be serviced:

Well, your first issue is it’s the end of November and you’re still on iOS 18
oh. I posted this from my iPhone 14. And my issue is with the camera of my new iPhone 17.
The iPhone 17 comes with iOS 26 preinstalled.
